To translate your website, use the files located in library/languages/defauklt.po and open it using POEdit and translate the theme strings to your local language, I only supports now the Arabic translation as it is my native language, any help to translate the website will be appreciated.

After that save it and upload them to library/languages/, for example you saved it as fr_FR.po, a new file will be also created fr_FR.mo, You must upload both of them to the folder

Now open your WordPress site root and open wp-config.php and make sure that WP_LANG is like this

define('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');

If your website language is supported via RTL, you should enable the rtl from the Theme Options Page.
